If Ash is fairly anonymous in America, singer-songwriter Shon Sullivan is practically invisible. Well, that's not quite true. A few people know who he is. Elliott Smith, for example: Smith asked Sullivan to join his band for his lengthy touring behind 2000's Figure 8, and Sullivan's skill at cello and guitar and piano earned him the nickname (and band name, as it turned out) Goldenboy. On Goldenboy's dazzling debut, Blue Swan Orchestra, Smith returns the favor, adding vocals to "Summertime." Which, more than likely, is why people will initially pick up the album. But if they come for Smith, they'll stay for Sullivan's sad-eyed singing and gorgeous and grand pop songs. And keep coming back.
